It was already mentioned in 1106 in the chronicle of Gallus Anonymus. Until 1281, the seat of the castellany, one of the oldest Polish castellanies, mentioned for the first time in the Gniezno bull of 1136. The remains of the former center of organization (tribal and then Opole) is the settlement called Widoradz, located 2 km north of Ruda. The church was founded before 1106. At the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries, it was elevated to the rank of a collegiate church. At the same time, the Rudzki archdeaconry was established.
The market settlement by the church grew into a town which received German law at the beginning of the second half of the 13th century. In the last quarter of the 13th century, however, the town center was moved to Wieluń, and Ruda itself soon passed into the hands of the nobility. In the years 1419–1420, the seat of the archdeaconry and the college of canons were also moved to Wieluń. From then on, Ruda was an ordinary village. st.
